It's also why we put FAQs at the top of every page. To eliminate guesswork about why and what we do. - #### How would you explain your LeadershipEQ program to me if I was 5 years old? This program is like going to a special school that teaches you how to understand and control your feelings better. It also teaches you how to understand others' feelings, and be a good team captain. It's like learning how to be the best friend you can be to your team. You'll get better at understanding and managing your own emotions, as well as those of your team. This helps your team work better together, regardless of the challenge in front of you. - #### How does LeadershipEQ differ from other leadership development programs? Most leadership development programs focus on skills like decision-making or strategy. Our program is different because it helps you understand and handle emotion - both yours and your team's. In the modern workplace, it’s these skills that are proving to be the key to being a great leader. We’ve also spent years refining the curriculum to make it easily digestible. You'll learn unique skills that only the top leaders exhibit daily. Scale it across your entire leadership team and you’ll have an even larger edge because a team that understands each other works more cohesively and gets more done. - #### How does the LeadershipEQ program help me address interpersonal issues in my team? Emotional impulses are given the opportunity by our brains to drive our behaviour, long before our thoughts are. Developing emotional intelligence is the only proven way to combat this, and our program is the most no-nonsense way for leaders to develop EQ. It will give you tools to manage conflict, build trust, and improve communication in your team, each of which directly addresses interpersonal challenges. - #### How might LeadershipEQ help my organization navigate change? Fact: the human brain does not like change. It is designed to maintain homeostasis and equilibrium. This means all organizational change is hard and scary on some level. Our program helps you and your team navigate change by explaining what changes change is creating inside everyone’s brain. The result is increased awareness and empathy, which reduces fear and resistance, allowing change to progress with less stress and fewer disruptions. - #### What is my team’s time commitment with respect to LeadershipEQ? The full program involves four sessions: Self-Awareness, Self-Regulation, Empathy, and Accountability. Each follows our 3 & 30 Model: a 3-hour live facilitation with your entire team, followed by 30 days of self-directed learning for each participant. This cycle is repeated until all 4 modules are complete.  This has proven to be the most effective way to meet the learning needs of even the most diverse teams - while keeping everyone progressing at an equal rate. - #### You often talk about the connection between leadership and parenting. Will LeadershipEQ really help me at home? The fundamental skills of emotional intelligence you will learn - understanding and managing emotions - are as useful at home as they are at work. We can say with confidence you'll become a better parent and leader through the subject matter alone. However, once your team begins functioning better as a result of the training, you’ll have fewer fires to put out at work, leading to better balance between your work and home life. You’ll reduce stress and be generally happier. How can that not enhance your role as both parent and leader? - #### We have a lot of new and emerging leaders. Is this program right for them? It’s not only right for them - it was designed for them. As many as 80% of leaders will derail in their career, with promotion into a more emotionally demanding role being the primary cause. The need to keep confidential information,  additional stress and conflict, and a fear of looking inadequate create massive feelings of isolation. Our program not only teaches your emerging leaders to manage these things better - we are there as the confidential sounding board that is often the difference between a new leader succeeding or failing. - #### What kind of support or follow-up can we expect with LeadershipEQ? First, every live session is expertly facilitated. Every tool delivered during those sessions has also been deliberately built to be usable at a high school level. In short, the tools and strategies you’ll learn have been designed to minimize the need for ongoing support, saving you both time and money. However, each learner also has access to online tools and can book 15-minute live micro-training sessions with their facilitator whenever they need. - #### We have a new executive who has just joined our senior leadership team. How does this program fit here? There are two types of organizations we directly target - those who’ve headcount has grown by more than 1/3 in the past year, marking the emergence of an entirely new culture, and those with a new executive on their team. Both these situations offer increased risk for high-growth organizations. It is critical for new executives to understand their team's emotions and behaviours, in order to quickly build trust and allow for feedback. Not only will your new executive stand a better chance at hitting the ground running with us, they stand to be embraced by their team faster as well,  reducing the time it takes them to be effective in their new role. - #### With a name like CultureSmith, is it a safe assumption this leadership program will directly impact our culture as well? Yes. A culture is the collective way a group of people solve problems together. It’s what distinguishes them from all other groups. What our program does that few others can, is connect organizational culture to organizational climate. Every choice one of your people makes is a vote for the type of climate you will have. Leaders are the ones responsible for shaping those choices and ensuing they’re aligned with the culture that is connected to your organization’s vision of the future. Growing their EQ, is the most proven and effective way for leaders to shape those choices in healthy, constructive and consistent ways. ### Lead, Develop, AND Mentor better by understanding emotion.   #### In a world where rapid expansion and the addition of new staff present constant challenges, increased interpersonal conflicts, and the risk of derailment, LeadershipEQ provides invaluable support.   #### Our four-session program helps you better manage your own emotions and behaviours, while establishing a culture of trust.

The first step for most is LeadershipEQTM. The program's success can be attributed to our five decades of collective experience and expertise, which have resulted in the following tools that make the program work: ### The Cognitive Colours #### The Cognitive Colours provide leaders with a more accurate picture of their team members' behaviours, habits, coping mechanisms, communication preferences, and conflict tendencies. This tool drives self-awareness and empathy within the LeadershipEQ program, which allows leaders to predict and shape their team's behavior. *\[[Learn More](https://www.culturesmithinc.com/colours?hsLang=en)\].* ![IMG_8161-compressed](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/507386/CLEAN-images/lazy-imgs/lazy-img-800x500.png) ### Uncommon Norms   #### LeadershipEQ's Uncommon Norms helps you define what teamwork means in your organization by identifying behaviours that seem positive but hold you back. With this revolutionary approach, you'll be able to pinpoint and counter hidden roadblocks. The result? A leadership style that goes beyond superficial feedback, allowing you to coach and correct behavior that leads to the organization's success. *\[[Learn More](https://www.culturesmithinc.com/norms?hs_preview=QGpkNihr-127978192652&hsLang=en)\].* ![IMG_8627-compressed](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/507386/CLEAN-images/lazy-imgs/lazy-img-800x500.png) ### Uncommon Competencies #### Uncommon CompetenciesTM is a dynamic toolkit designed to cultivate 36 essential "future of work" skills within your organization, all aligned with your long-term vision.

Why simply manage emotions when you can use them as a strategic asset? MoodSwingTM allows leaders to prevent unforced interpersonal issues, constantly shaping a positive work environment. The payoff is substantial, as you will establish a culture of trust and accountability. *\[[Learn More](https://www.culturesmithinc.com/moodswing?hsLang=en)\].* ![IMG_8518-compressed](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/507386/CLEAN-images/lazy-imgs/lazy-img-800x500.png) #### Did You Know? #### Leadership is affected by evolutionary biology more than many realize. Our brains are wired to use emotion as a trigger, automating our response to threats. Workplaces are mazes of social threats leaders navigate with brains designed to survive physical emergencies. LeadershipEQ teaches you how to stop fighting the brain's need for safety and how to start leveraging it. - #### Path 1: Acting Without Thinking A heuristic is a shortcut. Decisions are made faster and with less energy by omitting information. Straight lines are the shortest distance between points. For millions of years, thinking was a risky diversion the brain couldn't afford. Acting without thinking had evolutionary advantages. Heuristics became hardwired in the brain. - #### Path 2: Emotional Contagion Besides being larger, the emotional part of the brain also receives signals first. Every experience is tagged with an emotion. There is a code behind every emotion designed to promote safety. It was safe in groups. Belonging became biological. Keeping the group safe had to be automatic. Acting without thinking spread, giving way to Emotional Contagion. One person's action - created sensations in all others. Groups fought, fled or froze as one. If you;ve ever wondered how one person's bad mood can ruin your entire team's day, now you know. - #### Path 3: Thinking Before Acting As civilization grew, people left their group for other groups. Social threats replaced physical threats. As a result, the brain's default response to threats became a problem. Conflict between 'friends' triggered a new path - 'thinking before acting'. The path is in its infancy. Emotions have been used to assess and react to threats for 2 million years. The brain's had less than 300 years to learn what a 'coworker' is. We navigate the workplace with brains built for surviving physical emergencies. Emails don't trigger anyone. We’re triggered by the pattern the email fits.  LeadershipEQ gives you the tools to give your people the ability top override these echos of evolution. ![IMG_8618-compressed](https://www.culturesmithinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_8618-compressed.png?width=1638&height=1638&name=IMG_8618-compressed.png)   ### Pricing Options & Guarantee: #### Individual Session Choose Any Of Our 4 Sessions ## $5995.00 per session / per team Includes Professional 3-hour Live Facilitation. 30 Days Self-Directed Learning For All Leaders.
